Programs & Projects: SCORE

Metrolink's Southern California Optimized Rail Expansion (SCORE) is a $10 billion capital improvement program — grade crossing, station and signal improvements as well as track additions and work — that accelerates progress towards Metrolink's zero-emissions future. Improvements that allow some cities to apply for quiet zones. Southern California is growing, we must do more to serve Southern California's growing population, to meet the state's ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gases and improve access to affordable housing and other opportunities

With SCORE, the Region Gets More

The SCORE program is an ambitious capital program that will upgrade Metrolink's system in time for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. SCORE projects will be completed starting in 2023, with the program complete by 2028.

The Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) was commissioned to produce a study assessing the impact of the construction investment of the SCORE Program. The benefits from SCORE will make the region increasingly attractive for the millions projected to arrive in SoCal in 2028 and create regional prosperity in the decades to come.

With SCORE, the region gets more:

safety improvements
peak and off-peak rail service
access to job centers and affordable housing
seamless connections to other rail providers
jobs and economic development
cleaner air for all

The proposed El Monte Siding Extension Project includes new rail infrastructure, a siding extension that will be constructed within Metrolink's right-of-way, and grade crossing improvements at the El Monte Station and at Tyler Avenue.

Rancho Cucamonga Siding Extension Project

The proposed Rancho Cucamonga Siding Extension Project includes safety-related improvements at two at-grade crossings at Hellman Avenue and Archibald Avenue and a new track configuration that will allow trains to pass one another in opposite directions on separate tracks.

Serra Siding Extension Project (OCTA)

The project proposes to extend 1.2 miles of the siding track and improve segments of the main track to enhance operational services. For more information, visit www.octa.net/serrasiding.
